Chevy Equinox vs Honda CR-V

With so many options to choose from, it’s no easy task to settle on a new SUV to lead you on your next adventure around New Alexandria, Monroeville, and Irwin, PA. However, our team at C. Harper Chevrolet East might have an easy solution.

Below, we break down two of your best options in our 2022 Chevy Equinox vs. Honda CR-V comparison. From the performance that fuels them forward to the technology you’ll find laced throughout their interior, we’ll help you get familiar with everything you need to know about these two SUVs!

EQUINOX VS CR-V: PERFORMANCE

---

Each SUV showcases impressive power under the hood. The Equinox’s performance is highlighted by a 1.5L turbo 4-cylinder engine. You’ll have plenty of kick each time you accelerate, with up to 203 lb-ft of available torque.

While the standard turbocharged 4-cylinder engine of the Honda CR-V does provide plenty of power, it offers 179 lb-ft of torque. The CR-V also makes its real time all-wheel drive (AWD) available for non-hybrid models.

With the Equinox, all-wheel drive comes standard for all available trim levels. However, you will still have an option to choose front-wheel drive (FWD) if you’d prefer.

EQUINOX VS CR-V: INTERIOR

---

Both the Chevy Equinox and Honda CR-V also offer up beautiful interiors to help you get comfortable. With either, you’ll have no shortage of space for up to five passengers. Each even offers ample cargo space to store everything from groceries to golf bags.

When it comes to comfort, the Equinox is a clear standout. Many of its convenient comfort features come standard across all models, while you’ll need to upgrade to a more premium CR-V trim level to experience the same features.

Some features to help you settle into the Equinox include:

• 8-way power-adjustable driver & passenger seats
• Heated & ventilated driver and front passenger seats
• Heated steering wheel
• Perforated leather-appointed seating
• Dual-zone automatic climate control

Again, you’ll need to go with a higher trim level to experience these with the Honda CR-V. Plus, you won’t have the option to add on features like the heated steering wheel or ventilated front seats.

EQUINOX VS CR-V: TECHNOLOGY

---

Inside either the Equinox or CR-V, you can also look forward to plenty of tech to help you stay connected along the way. Each runs its infotainment systems through a high-definition touchscreen—an 8-inch color touchscreen in the Equinox, and a 7-inch screen in the CR-V.

Otherwise, the two actually share a fair amount of connective technology, including features like:

• Apple CarPlay®
• Android Auto™
• Integrated navigation
• Bluetooth® streaming audio
• SiriusXM® satellite radio

Each even features a slew of remote technology to help you always stay connected to your SUV. You can even utilize a built-in Wi-Fi® hotspot for effortless streaming of music, podcasts, and more, no matter where your next ride takes you.

EQUINOX VS CR-V: SAFETY

---

Peace of mind comes naturally behind the wheel of the Chevy Equinox and Honda CR-V. Each offers up its own suite of driver-assistance technology to lend you a hand along the way.

Standard across all models of the Chevy Equinox is the Chevy Safety Assist system. This collection of intuitive safety features includes:

• Automatic Emergency Braking
• Forward Collision Alert
• Front Pedestrian Braking
• Following Distance Indicator
• Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning

The Honda Sensing® technology of the CR-V does offer some similar systems, such as its own lane keeping system and forward collision warning.

Overall, you can expect a few added unique features from the Equinox, like the intelligent Teen Driver system. This allows you to keep a close eye on your family’s newest driver with an in-car report card, as well as the ability to limit and customize certain features.
